3. Christ by his obedience, and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those that are thus justified, and did make a proper, reall, and full satisfaction to his Fathers Justice in their behalf.a Yet, in as much as he was given by the Father, for them;b and, his obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead;c and, both, freely, not for any thing in them; their Justification is only of free grace;d that, both the exact justice, and rich grace of God, might be glorified in the justification of sinners.e
